GOVERNOR TO FILL OFFICES Gov. Jackson Will Make Several Appointments Before May First Indianapolis, laid. April 16—t United Press)— Political gossip was still rife today as to what Governor Jackson intends to do regarding appointments to various state offices which must be made befor-i May first. Since Albert J. Wedeking has been appointed to the position held by Alvan V. Burch, of Evansville on the Highway commission, only five major posts aro left to be fought over by the hord of job-huuters w hich daily beseiges the governor. Terms ot Commissioner Howell Ellis and Frank Wampler expires May 1. while Commissioner Clyde Jones has announced he will resign soon. Eph P. Daily is up for re-appoint-ment on the industrial board and Law-n-nee Orr, seeks re-appointment as chief -examiner for the state board of accounts. A number of persons are after the two last-named posts, but well-inform-ed persons say that governor Jackson has indicated that “most of my appointments at this time will be reappointments." It is rumored that Louis Taylor, c< Yankeetown, farm bureau Federation leader may succeed Frank Wampler although the governor said that he might not have anything definite to announce for several days. Wampler has nothing to say about his re-appointment, but he bore the brunt of criticism during the recent Indianapolis electric light merger and it is expected that this will ha.e a bearing ou his future actions. • The governor has said that he considers Taylor “a splendid fellow, honest and capable” and that “I have not Better digestion Ends Constipation Thui anund dicwtive treatment ends constipation troubles.

Two positions are to be open on the Stave Education Board, but these are minor offices and are not being eyed so hungrily by office-seekers. — o Camel Sells For $1 At Australia Auction Sydney, N. 8. W., April 16 -(United Press)— A group of female camels realized only u dollar apiece at a recent auction in an outback district of New South Wales. Until a few years ago camels were evtensively vised in d ,- y Inland areac for transportation of wool and other products to and from the nearest railroad. But the mode’ll motor truck ’.as proved so much faster, cheaper, •• J more capable of maim.;ement even u the dryest districta that the hump-back animal has become obsolete. Hence, their owners have despaired of m iking them profitable, and the herds have mostly been sold at auction or tmaedloose. Sofne ot the latter have increased since their release and have become a mnace in many districts. When they reach areas of settlement they are impounded by the authorities. It was ie.> such lot that was recently sold at auc tion. The females brought a dollar each and il.e bulls litt .c more. Get the Habit —Trade at Home, It Pays
